[PATCH] [244/275] ALSA: Fix yet another race in disconnection

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Wed Mar 30 2011 - 17:17:54 EST


2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit a45e3d6b13e97506b616980c0f122c3389bcefa4 upstream.

This patch fixes a race between snd_card_file_remove() and
snd_card_disconnect(). When the card is added to shutdown_files list
in snd_card_disconnect(), but it's freed in snd_card_file_remove() at
the same time, the shutdown_files list gets corrupted. The list member
must be freed in snd_card_file_remove() as well.
